Prince of Berlin#
Methusalems,
the third constructed tournament in Berlin was a good success. 12
players attended, special guests were the Prince of Szczechin and the
new Prince of Braunschweig.
Only six players were from my domain but I hope that interest will
increase in the future.
Having three 4-player-tables and using the Multiplayer-Judge-System
the tournament lasted only 7 hours and 15 minutes. During the
preliminary rounds only one game was not finished during the timelimit
and the final lasted only 44 minutes! I am sure that this is a new
record. Congratulations to Lubomir Matecka whos weenies overran his
enemies with no problems.
The atmosphere was quite good. No big rule-discussions, no bad losers
or unsportsmanlike behaviour.
Here are the rankings:
1. Lubomir Matecka 11/4/138
"Silent Presentation" - Weenie Bleed
2. Marek Staude 5,5/1/144

Instead of describing single games I am giving some general
informations about the tournament and experiences in my domain and
area.
- Simple Bleed tactics are still one of the most effective ways to
victory.
- Even after FN I have not seen any effective Independent Clan-Decks
in my domain.
- Some Sabbat-Clans seem to be of very low interest (Nosferatu!,
Gangrel!, Tremere!)
- Is the "Optimal Seating Order" in the ARCHON optimal? During this
tournament I have played two times against player 5+9 but never
against 1+3+8+11. Anybody uses another system which is "better"?
- If there is no comp around so you cannot use the ARCHON, index-cards
for every player are very recommendable.
Thanks to Mystery Island and White Wolf.
Special thanks to Anam Stubbington.
Hospitality,
Alexander; Prince of Berlin
